“…Dairy production cooperatives aim at the economic and social integration of rural and small producers, providing farmers with competencies to control the flow of production, ultimately preventing excess and falling prices, as well as facilitating easier access to cheaper and better inputs. Furthermore, cooperatives can guarantee important social benefits, such as participation in leftovers, a sense of fairness, and producer recognition [53].…”

All companies in agribusiness supply chains need to be aware of the best use of available resources, which demands an integrated assessment of environmental, economic and social aspects, i.e., the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). Such analysis allows us to get a more balanced and complete understanding of the real performance of companies, supply chains and industries. Companies in the upstream of agribusinesses supply chains present some limitations, but can contribute significantly to the overall sustainability of the entire value chain. The objective of this research was to understand the role of the drivers of sustainability in dairy farming from a TBL perspective, such as assistance to producers and the value chain, and the use of better technology and management practices. A sample of 54 rural farms in the dairy supply chain of the western region of Santa Catarina, Brazil, was used to test four hypotheses about what can drive sustainability. Furthermore, first- and second-order structural equation models using SMART PLS software were used for the analysis of the data. The results obtained show that social sustainability is positively influenced by the use of good management practices, and the latter, as well as public policies, positively influence economic sustainability. Furthermore, it was found that improvements in production techniques positively influence environmental sustainability, and this is mostly influenced by the use of good management practices, and less so by policies directed at the supply chain. Finally, from the analysis of the second-order variable for sustainability, it was highlighted that the economic dimension prevails in the eyes of the farmers, as the main dimension of sustainability, and that environmental aspects are still neglected.

We estimate the monetary value of a policy aimed at increasing rural co-operative production in Kazakhstan to increase milk production. We analyse the drivers associated with public support for such policy using the contingent valuation method. The role of individuals’ psychological aspects, based on the reasoned action approach, along with individuals’ views on the country’s past regime (i.e., to the former Soviet Union), their awareness about the governmental policy, their sociodemographic characteristics, and household location on their willingness to pay (WTP) for the policy is analysed using an interval regression model. Additionally, we examine changes in individuals’ WTP before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimated total economic value of the policy is KZT 1335 bn for the length of the program at KZT 267 bn per year, which is approximately half the total program budget, which includes other interventions beyond the creation of production co-operatives. The total economic value of the policy would equal the cost of the whole program after 10 years, indicating public support for this policy amongst Kazakh citizens. Psychological factors, i.e., attitude, perceived social pressure, and perceived behavioural control, and the respondents’ awareness of the policy and views on the Soviet Union regime are associated with their WTP. Sociodemographic factors, namely, age, income, and education, are also statistically significant. Finally, the effect of the shocks of COVID-19 is negatively associated with the respondents’ WTP.

“…In modern conditions, the establishment and development of agricultural business in all regions depends not only on territorial and natural climatic conditions, but also on location in relation to large cities and megacities, where the majority of buyers of agricultural products and processing industry are concentrated. Besides, it is necessary to take into account the importance of social and economic formation, development of local (regional) economy and ecological criteria of rural areas development [10].…”

Management accounting of an economic entity in the agricultural sector is a complex multidimensional system. Sustainable development of the subject of business in the agro-industrial complex depends on many heterogeneous factors and conditions, which are understood as the reasons (driving forces) of any process determining its character or its separate features. The order of making decisions depends on the functioning of management accounting. In the context of diversity and heterogeneity of factors, a high degree of their uncertainty, complexity of interactions, study of these factors is a serious problem. Therefore, management personnel should carry out a constant analysis of all factors affecting the enterprise and assess their interaction, which reflects the cause-and-effect relations that characterize the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex. The aim of the article is the justification of theoretical provisions and the development of practical recommendations for the development of analytical support of management accounting in the management of sustainable development of agricultural organizations. Objectives of the research: to study theoretical aspects and methodological tools, to determine the set of factors of sustainable development of a business entity, to develop absolute and relative indicators, which should be applied in management accounting for assessment and analysis of economic, social and environmental sustainability.
